How to Write Kick-Ass Scenes

How to Write Kick-Ass Scenes by Lynn Johnston is a fantastic resource for fiction authors. Lynn has already been one of my favorite fiction teachers for quite some time now, and this latest workshop of hers covers one of the most crucial aspects of fiction writing: making sure your scenes aren’t boring.

You see, it really doesn’t matter how great your plot is, or how well-developed your characters are if the scenes aren’t properly structured. Scenes are what move the story, and if that part isn’t working, the story doesn’t work. Period.

So take a look at this list of scene problems and ask yourself if you recognize your own story issues:

slow scenes

boring scenes

meandering scenes

scenes without enough conflict

low-tension scenes

scenes without a climax

scenes that don’t move the story forward

Lynn’s workshop will show you how to fix all of these by writing stronger scenes, using scene structure techniques at both the macro and micro level.

I asked Lynn to give my readers some insight into how to use her new course, depending on their writing style. Whether you are a pantser or a plotter, or even if you hire a ghostwriter to write your stories, How to Write Kick-Ass Scenes will help you make your fiction stronger.
